Most agency software still treats onboarding as a folder of shared passwords: chasing logins for Meta, Google, TikTok, GA4 and a CRM, one email at a time, then hoping nobody's access lapses. Ads and Pixels replaces that with a single branded link. The client opens it, sees a checklist, and taps through each platform's own login or invite — Meta's Facebook Login for Business, Google's manager-link invite, Microsoft, TikTok Business Center, Snap, Shopify, Stripe, their CRM, with LinkedIn and Pinterest joining the same checklist once those channels ship. No network offers a true one-click grant, so we don't pretend to fake one: each row turns green only when our system verifies the grant through that platform's own API, not when the client clicks a button. Rows that stall trigger a reminder to the client and a status line on your side, so you're never guessing whether a step is actually done.
Some steps have no API at all — adding a payment method to an ad account, creating a Page, a handful of token grants. Those show as guided tasks with screenshots and are verified the same way once complete. A new client can go from invite to a live campaign in under an hour once accounts are connected.
